But the prince and his comrades didn’t know something. They didn’t know that Romelia possessed a miraculous power called “Grace,” which bestows good luck.

Having lost her fiancé and been abandoned by her friends, Romelia did not break. Her homeland was still infested with the Demon King’s forces, and many people were held captive by the demon race as s*aves. To rescue them, Romelia embarked on a mission, encountering numerous difficulties along the way.

“No army? Let’s intimidate local lords and take their forts.”

“No healers? Let’s negotiate with the church for their assistance.”

“No money? Let’s negotiate with merchants to secure funds.”

“Newly recruited soldiers are inexperienced? Let’s have them gain experience by hunting monsters.”

And so, Romelia, along with her loyal followers, marches into battle! <<less
